Ford wants '100 per cent' Ontario students at unis, office says he meant med schools

Premier Doug Ford suggested Wednesday he'd like to see Ontario post-secondary institutions attended only by students from Ontario – comments his office later said referred specifically to medical schools."In my opinion, and we will continue working with the ministry, get rid of the 18 per cent," he said at an announcement for a new medical school at York University.

Post-secondary institutions, especially colleges, in Ontario turned increasingly to international students after Ford's government cut tuition by 10 per cent in 2019 and froze it there. Many Ontario colleges and universities are now running deficits and say the recent top-up is about half of what they need to become healthy, viable institutions.
